I now have AR 9.3.1 For PCand am advised no further updates available.I have tried Foxit and it worked. Removed Foxit and AR and reinstalled AR. At this time all seems OK with AR which is printing well.

I had already tried most of the recomendations. Just in case I dwonloaded the latest install for the Adobe Reader but still the same.

As I said previously there is only a problem with more recent PDF's. To be more specific I receive orders and enquiries as scans and documents converted to PDF's from some of the worlds major oil companies and it is ONLY those created within the last three weeks that have caused problems. I would like to attach one but I am not allowed.

My problem has been fixed by installing Foxit but now I have the problem that I cannot uninstall Adobe because some of the files are in use by the Windows system.

Thank you so much to those of you who suggested downloading the Foxit reader. After wasting most of the day uninstalling, reinstalling, fixing this that and the other thing and not being able to print after upgrading to AR 9.3, in 10 minutes Foxit was installed and printed like a charm.

I was trying to print a form from the IRS website. I had done this many times before without a problem. I knew there was nothing wrong with my printer, drivers, computer or anything else.

Same problem with Vista not printing pdf. installed Foxit Reader from foxitsoftware.com which open pdfs and prints without any prolbems. Interesting Adobe are not saying anything about this problem. Similar error reported http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1

This problem is typically caused to another piece of software being installed that has some kind of PDF functionality. Internet Explorer starts looking for DLLs that it cannot find, and generates the error. The best method for fixing this problem is to copy some of the Adobe Reader's DLLs into and Internet Explorer directory. Below is what I use in a batch file to fix the problem with Adobe Reader 9 on Windows XP:

The above may not display correctly in the forum, so note that each line of your batch file should start with copy and end with dll".

Hope this helps you all. It took much testing to get this figured out. As I'm sure everyone has found, it is next to impossible to find the fix for this. As a side note, we have tested this same solutions with other versions of Adobe Reader and Windows, so modify the above to suit you needs.

Upon clicking print in Acrobat 9 pro, the print dialog goes away and I get two errors:

The Document could not be printed.

and

There were no pages selected to print.

no errors in console were produced.

The work arround I found was to select "advanced" in the print window and then check "Print As Image." I found as long as that box was checked the trouble document could print.

First I tried removing/reinstalling CS4, repairing premisisons, and reloading print drivers with no success. I also tried it on two seperate macs running differnet OS versions (10.5.8 and 10.6.4) as well as differend minor versions of Acrobat 9 pro (9.3.4 and 9.0.0.). The problem/solution were reproducable on both machines.

I also found that Preview.app had no probem printing any of the trouble documents.

Ok, you will never be able to print pdfs using adobe reader, because adobe reader is just to read the pdfs, you need acrobat to print the pdfs, there will b no use of waiting for reader 10 even it will also not print, you can download acrobat trial (30 days) and then try printing pdfs.

"Adobe Reader software is the global standard for electronic document sharing. It is the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all PDF documents. Use Adobe Reader to view, search, digitally sign, verify, print, and collaborate on Adobe PDF files."

What next? I attempted to print from Adobe Acrobat Standard edition. I tried with Foxit, PDF Complete. Again, NO JOY! I think what is going on here is that when Acrobat creates the file, it's corrupt and the reason that Adobe doesn't want to admit to the problem is it will set up a MAJOR public relations problem and confidence problem in their product. So rather than do the right thing, Adobe chooses to ignore the problem, and either fix it behind the scene and have a lot of pissed off people, or they just have no clue.

Time to step up to the plate and approach the problem head on and fix it!

Read this thread. People with Acrobat Reader AND people with Acrobat Professional have this problem.

People with Mac OS and Win XP and Win Vista and Win7 have this problem.

People with Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9.

People with nose rings and people with bleached hair.

Those on OS X can print the same documents without issue from the built-in free OS X "Preview" application on the same machine that cannot print them from Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.3

So printing with an Acrobat trial version won't change that.

Adobe has a problem here. It's probably font related somehow, because printing "as an image" works, but of course that rasterizes all of the type, making it a poor solution, especially for professionals with clients that have expectations of quality work.

It's sad and embarrassing that a college kid with an old MacBook could come into my office and print a PDF with Preview I created on my brand new Mac Pro but that I cannot print using Acrobat Professional.

I did not pay over 2,000 dollars for software that can't even print it's own native file format. Well, actually, I did.

On my machine, this happens even when I check the "Print as image" check box.

Here I put a summary of the problem for people who don't have the time to read all the posts.

In Summary:

On Mac OS X, having Adobe Reader 9.3, when I try to print a PDF document on a printer I get the following errors:

"The document could not be printed."

and then,

"There were no pages selected to print."

This happens,

with ANY pdf document that I open, whether they are created with Adobe products or other applications;

with any selection of pages (all, current page, or a range of pages);

regardless of having the "Print as image" checkbox checked or unchecked;

on different printers (inkjet or laserjet, Lexmark and Epson);

on older versions of Adobe Reader 9 as well (I haven't tried it on Adobe Reader 8.x);

The same documents can be printed using the Preview application on Mac OS X.

Different people experience a subset of this problem, but the fact that I cannot print regardless of the document, the print as image option, the printer type or the page selection tells me that the problem is not related to these. This is a nasty bug and may have something to do with some Adobe settings being messed up. Since there is practically no way to completely uninstall Adobe on a Mac (Thank You Adobe for being so careless) I cannot tell whether a clean install would solve this issue. I tried removing every footprint of Adobe from my machine two times (from system files, property lists, etc) and installing the reader again, but the problem still exists.

Remember that little message that appeared after you first ran the Reader after install, telling you to Regsiter your Adobe software. Well if you kept clicking the remind me later then you will notice that some features will stop working until you register.

I was havng this same error today with Adobe Acrobat Pro, till I remember that small quirk that would occur whenever I don't register Adobe products.

We have been running all our Macs for years with a case sensitive file system which is one of the options on the Mac OS X installer. All our applications work fine except Adobe Reader. I have asked and complained to Adobe for a year or two. Whenever we try to print it just says that "Adobe Reader cannot print this document". We would use Preview but we use forms and digital signatures that Preview can't handle. We end up having to copy all our PDF files to a Windows system to print. This is pathetic, especially from Adobe.

I have a case-sensitive file system. Can all of you who have this printing problem confirm if they have a case-sensitive file system as well?

I have been reading the thread here and I have these same problems since July. We got an update to our loan origination system which included the 9.3.3 reader. Ever since that update nothing has been right. I have deleted and reinstalled everything from 8.2 to 9.4. We have installed memory and checked the drivers on our printer. Nothing seems to help. When I try to print, I get a blank page. Other people get the error messages. I don't know what else to do. Any one have any ideas?
